PETA's intention was never to be a shelter for adoptable dogs, but they do rescue if the animal is deathly ill. There is an old story about 2 or 3 former PETA employees not rescuing properly (they put down adoptable animals). It was very unfortunate, but not a common practice in PETA. It was a grave and tragic mistake by some employees who very clearly did the wrong thing.
Here are what the animals they rescue look like...but if you can't handle the reality of what happens to the worst of the worst, do not look at these pictures: Why We Euthanize | Ingrid Newkirk Blog | Blog.IngridNewkirk.com Why We Euthanize, Part II (Warning: Graphic Photo) | peta2 Blog |
I agree Peta is much more about education and exposing situations of abuse
